Set bonus
The Drowned King set is a 2-piece collection. Bonuses:
- 2 pieces: +15% Multistrike, Water Breathing (you can breathe underwater indefinitely)
- Single Trident: +15% Multistrike only
The Water Breathing effect is the unique selling point — it lets you explore underwater areas without consumables.
How to get it
The Trident drops from the Kraken world boss in Sunken Depths. Drop rate is 25% per kill (the highest of any Kraken drop).
- Party size: 10-20 players recommended.
- Respawn timer: 72 hours server-wide.
- Alternative: buy from the AH for ~25,000 gold.
Best recipients
- Berserker — BiS weapon through the entire Lv 100+ tier. The +15% Multistrike stacks with the Multistrike passive.
- Warrior — strong alternative to Cursed Greatsword.
- Shinobi — strong alternative to backstab-focused weapons.
- Necromancer — usable but the Multistrike passive is wasted on caster builds.

FAQ
Q: Does Water Breathing work in all underwater zones? A: Yes — Sunken Depths, Mystic Lake, and any other underwater area.
Q: Is the Trident better than the Aegis of the First Knight? A: For DPS, yes (15% Multistrike > raw stats). For tanking, no — the Aegis has better defense.
Q: Can the Trident drop on a character that’s not in the killing party? A: No — only party members get drop rolls. AFK leeching doesn’t work.
